Where did 311Y come from? Looks like an 026.

paul,
i see you missed the 025 on e-bay. it is for professional forest and landscaper. lots of power and all. the only saw you will need.
protect yourselves; marty

Tony, 311Y is a number that appears on all recent Stihl saws on compliance label. The joke is that morons on E-bay will ignore the big model number on the top of the saw and list the saw as a model 311Y. We've seen every model of Stihl saw called a 311Y but most of them look like 017's
Marty, I didn't miss is, It just left me speechless! If these people spent a little time looking up the same item they're selling, they could put on an accurate listing even if they know nothing about the saw they're selling.

I noticed the other day while doing routine maintenance on one of my saws the 311Y sticker
and you have to look pretty close to notice this#.
Why dont they see the Large# on top of the saw??
ive also noticed that Stihls on ebay are selling
most of the time for around 100.00 less than new.
For 100.00 i'll go buy a new saw for the warranty.
i just sold a MS290 on ebay for 225.00 plus 25.00
for shipping of course this saw is in great shape.
I purchased it new last august.I replaced this saw with a new 036 Pro but new i purchased it for
309.00

Has anyone actually ever emailed these sellers and asked what the heck a 311Y is?

I emailed the 311Y in question because i had seen it as well and asked her what the Large #'s on top of the saw were that started with an 0 Example:026

i saw one at a ace hardware today . the 311y was where the 026 number would have been.wasnt looking for saws so didnt pay much attention ,except to note that i wasnt familar with the saw.
also the new coke idea didnt make it ,so somebody tell stihl there is no disgrace in going back to its old number system. it was part of stihls pesonna. its unique,and immediately says stihl saw. i think that change is a mistake .

I'd be watching for those auctions real close

I emailed one person and tried to explain to the man about the 311Y,received a not so nice reply from him.They told me I had no idea what I was talking about and that it was marked 311 on the saw.
I really like it when they tell you that this saw cuts fine and they have the chain on backwards in the pictures.
I just bought this old 272 parts saw,with the buy it now option.Take a close look at the chain.
This will be my fist try for pictures on here.If it doesnt work just copy and paste this link.

Flatfiler, I have many personalities, but only sedanman knows how to type, who is kartman2? Maybe one of my "multiples" knows him. Seriously, I pretend to be no one, I am Paul Archer a.k.a. sedanman.

Flatfiler, I took that picture off an E-bay auction, probably the one by Kartman2. I don't have a digital camera so I "borrow" images when I can. I am Known as Sedanman67 on E-bay. Here's the sedan in question:

ms is short for motor sagan, german for chainsaw. Stihl has always numbered other items like this- BR short for blaasteracht, the german word for blower, ect. Be careful on e-bay folks. Idiots often sell junk.
